          Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements:



          1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
               ------------------------------------------

               The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
               statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
               accepted accounting principles for interim financial
               information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule
               10-01 of Regulation S-X.  They do not include all
               information and footnotes required by generally accepted
               accounting principles for complete financial statements. 
               For additional information, please refer to the
               consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in
               the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
               December 31, 1994.  In the opinion of management, all
               adjustments, including normal recurring accruals considered
               necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. 
               Operating results for the nine-month period ended September
               30, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of the results
               that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1995.



          2.   Contingency
               -----------

               In December, 1991, the company was notified by the
               McDonnell Douglas Corporation that McDonnell Douglas was
               terminating for default an $8.2 million contract with the
               company's Advanced Fabrication unit.  In 1992, the company
               wrote off $4.0 million of net assets related to this
               contract that were previously included in its financial
               statements.  The company believed from the onset that it
               had legitimate defenses to the default claim.  In June,
               1995, this dispute was settled to the satisfaction of both
               parties with no further financial impact on the results of
               operations or on the financial position of the company.

          Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                   Condition and Results of Operations

                                Results of Operations
                                ---------------------

          Sales
          -----

          The company's 1995 nine months' sales were $451.3 million, up 6%
          from $425.5 million in 1994 as all three operating groups
          reported sales gains.  Third quarter 1995 sales were up 1% to
          $141.7 million from the 1994 level of $140.3 million on the
          strength of sales increases at Barnes Aerospace offset in large
          part by sales declines at Bowman and Associated Spring.  Both the
          nine month and third quarter sales levels for 1995 set new
          company records for their respective period.

          Associated Spring's 1995 first nine months' sales increased 4% to
          $213.5 million from $205.6 million in 1994.  Third quarter sales
          were $66.2 million, down 3% from a year ago.  The North American
          manufacturing business was affected by a softening of the U.S.
          durable goods market and continuing labor problems at the
          Bristol, Connecticut plant.  Work slowdowns since March have
          resulted in decreased shipments as there has been little progress
          towards completing a new labor contract.  Overseas the group's
          manufacturing operation in Singapore reported strong nine month
          and third quarter 1995 sales increases over 1994.  The Raymond
          Distribution division reported a 1995 year-to-date improvement
          and a third quarter 1995 decline from the comparable 1994
          periods.

          Bowman Distribution's sales were up 3% for the first nine months
          of 1995 to $167.2 million from 1994's level of $162.7 million. 
          Third quarter 1995 sales declined 6% to $50.7 million from $53.7
          million in 1994.  All business units reported sales improvement
          for the first nine months of 1995.  Bowman U.S., the group's
          largest business unit, reported a sales decline in the third
          quarter of 1995 when compared with 1994's third quarter.  The
          sales decline resulted in part from lower manpower in the field
          sales organization.

          Barnes Aerospace's 1995 first nine months' sales increased 23% to
          $71.2 million from 1994's sales of $57.7 million.  Third quarter
          1995 sales of $25.0 million increased 35% over 1994's third
          quarter sales of $18.4 million.  All business units reported
          period-over-period sales gains with the exception of the repair
          and overhaul business whose 1995 third quarter sales did not keep
          pace with the third quarter of 1994.

          Operating Income
          ----------------

          Operating income in 1995 improved substantially over strong 1994
          results.  Consolidated operating income for the first nine months
          of 1995 was up 37% to $39.1 million from the $28.6 million
          reported in 1994.  Third quarter 1995 operating income of $11.1
          million was 9% higher than the $10.2 million reported in 1994's
          third quarter.

          Associated Spring's operating income in the first nine months of
          1995 nearly kept pace with its sales growth as a small
          improvement in the gross margin percentage was offset by an
          increase in selling and administrative expenses as a percentage
          of sales.  The third quarter 1995 operating income declined
          sharply due in part to the decrease in sales volume and an
          increase in selling and administrative expenses as a percentage
          of sales.  This was caused in part by excess costs at its
          Bristol, Connecticut plant and operating inefficiencies at its
          Dallas, Texas plant related to the transfer of equipment and
          product from a former west coast facility.

          Bowman Distribution's 1995 first nine months' and third quarter
          operating income improved substantially over 1994 due to higher
          year-to-date sales volume and significantly lower operating costs
          expressed in both absolute terms and as a percentage of sales.

          Barnes Aerospace's operating results improved significantly for
          both the first nine months and third quarter of 1995 over the
          comparable 1994 periods.  The 1995 increase in sales volume and
          decrease in operating costs expressed as a percentage of sales
          resulted in the group reporting operating income for the third
          consecutive quarter.

          Non-operating Income/Expense
          ----------------------------

          Interest expense in the first nine months of 1995 was higher than
          in 1994 because of higher interest rates offset in part by lower
          debt levels.

          Other expenses decreased in the third quarter of 1995 from 1994's
          third quarter primarily due to lower foreign exchange losses.

                                 Financial Condition
                                 -------------------
          Cash Flows
          ----------

          For the first nine months of 1995, net cash flows provided by
          operating activities were $32.3 million, an increase of $8.2
          million over 1994. The sharp increase in operating cash flow is


                                         -9-
<PAGE>










          directly attributable to the increased level of earnings after
          adjustment for the noncash charge for depreciation and
          amortization.

          Net cash used by investing activities for the first nine months
          of 1995 was $27.8 million compared to $21.0 million in 1994.
          Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were up $5.5
          million over 1994's expenditures, an increase of 25%.  All three
          operating groups continued to invest in new equipment to improve
          productivity, quality and customer service.

          In 1995, net cash used by financing activities was $9.1 million
          compared to $7.1 million in 1994.  This year-over-year increase
          was primarily due to the $6.9 million pay down of debt in 1995
          versus $3.5 million in 1994.  In addition, proceeds from the
          issuance of common stock increased to $5.7 million in 1995 from
          $3.1 million in 1994, a result of an increase in the exercise of
          stock options. The 1995 increase in dividends paid over the 1994
          amount was due to both an increase in the dividend per share and
          number of shares outstanding.


          Liquidity and Capital Resources
          -------------------------------

          The company's liquidity, measured in terms of working capital,
          was $103.0 million at September 30, 1995, an increase of $14.7
          million from the December 31, 1994, level.  The current ratio was
          a very strong 2.3 at September 30, 1995, compared with 2.0 at
          December 31, 1994.

          The ratio of interest-bearing debt to total capitalization
          approximated 25% at September 30, 1995, compared to 28% at year-
          end 1994.  For this purpose, total capitalization is defined as
          total interest-bearing debt, plus accrued long-term retirement
          benefits, other long-term liabilities and stockholders' equity,
          excluding the guaranteed ESOP obligation.

          The company maintains substantial bank borrowing facilities to
          supplement internal cash generation.  At September 30, 1995, the
          company had $100.0 million of borrowing capacity available under
          its revolving credit agreement.  In addition, the company had
          approximately $150.0 million in uncommitted short-term bank
          credit lines, of which $26.5 million was in use at September 30,
          1995. During 1995 and 1994, the company maintained long-term debt
          of $70.0 million, comprised in part of borrowings under its
          short-term bank credit lines backed by its long-term revolving
          credit agreement.  The company has found this to be a cost
          effective approach to long-term financing and intends to continue
          this approach.  The company believes these credit facilities
          coupled with cash generated from operations are adequate for its
          anticipated future requirements.
